US-Venezuela operation kills Tren de Aragua leader "El Niño Guerrero"

A significant blow has been dealt to the transnational criminal organization Tren de Aragua with the death of its leader, identified as "El Niño Guerrero." U.S. forces, in a coordinated operation with Venezuela, carried out an attack that resulted in the demise of the high-profile criminal figure.

U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed the operation late Friday, emphasizing the collaborative nature of the mission. The joint effort targeted "El Niño Guerrero," who hailed from Venezuela and led the expansive criminal network that originated in the South American nation.

The death of "El Niño Guerrero" marks a critical success in the ongoing efforts to dismantle the Tren de Aragua, a group known for its widespread criminal activities across multiple countries. The operation highlights an unusual level of cooperation between the United States and Venezuela in combating international organized crime.
